PGA Tour Farmers Insurance leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2019/farmers-insurance-open/leaderboard.html
Justin Rose may be the most under rated world #1, at least on this side of the pond. He garners none of the hullabaloo of Dustin Johnson, or Justin Thomas, or Jordan Spieth just to name three.
He just quietly goes about his business like the tall English gentleman that he is, never boastful, almost self depreciating, but don't be fooled, he is the iron fist in the velvet glove.
Remember he won the Fed Ex Cup last year, was within a stroke of winning the Race to Dubai the year before. He stature on the European Tour is legendary already, even though he has lived in Florida for a decade now.
He is leading this Farmers Insurance at Torrey Pines by 3 shots after posting an opening -9 63 then a -6 66 on the more difficult south course to get to -15 he has made only one bogey in 2 rounds. He has 9 PGA Tour victories including the 2013 US Open.
Japan's Hideki Matsuyama is 3 behind 66,66 -12, coming off a poor 2018 season. Jon Rahm, Billy Horschel and Ryan Palmer are all in the top five at -10
Rory McIlroy posted the low score -7 65 on the North, he's at -8. Tiger is T48, 70 70 -4.
As for the Canadians, Adam Svensson shot -5 67 and is T18 at -7. Ben Silverman T39 -5, Mac Hughes T47 -4, Nick Taylor currently -4 on course in round 3.
Incidentally Jordan Spieth is paired with Patrick Reed today and they squelched all speculation about their dislike for each other with a big hug on the first tee this morning.
